Title: My Christmas List to santa...
Post by: Linchpin on June 06, 2003, 01:44:05 PM
I know its a little early for xmas wishes, but i really am hoping that the people behind the new amiga really get off their a$$es by xmas time, i want a new miggy for christmas! (yes i am 21!)... Just cant wait to get rid of my PC ASAP! (Why do i have this GUT feeling im going to be let down by lack of software etc and also well overpriced hardware with no compatible software to run on it... im a little confused on what to do i think i will sit on it for a bit, not gonna waste £600 or so on an expensive unusable machine.. did that before when i got a PC ;-)

Also, thanks to the lads from SWAUG for the kickstart - very appriciated.

Well, I'd argue that it could stay here.  You are talking about a new Amiga - that's hardware ;-)

I want a new Amiga aswell, but I don't have money and I don't know what to get, so I'll leave it up to Santa to choose.

I just hope he remembers! :-D

Tell me about it. Dammit why cant they just release an amiga @ 1ghz with cool hardware for about $450? Now that would be nice,,,,,

Thats the price one pays for the PPC... If you want a complete 1Ghz system for under £500... buy a PeeSee

No need to spread FUD - us loyal followers know that Santa will be ready any day now.  Just trust me; once they've integrated the reindeer then it's all set to go.  The opposition will have no chance.

Being a pioneer is costly and exciting, at the same time!!!  :-D

You're still paying less than what an A1000 cost the day it came out!


AmigaOne! Soon, let the shareware hacking commence!!! :-D

Buy a Pegasos or a Pegasos II. The Pegasos II is not here yet, but I doubt you will have to wait for Christmas to get one.

BTW, you have a cool avatar! :-)

No way man! Santa's just fine. It's just the stress of his job holding him up, that's all.

Once hes finished his current therapy (http://www.c-wilkie.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/jokes/images/xmas3.jpg) he'll be raring to go...

Anyway, once I got the cash to spare, I'll probably get both systems :-D
